Windows Vista killed my savegames

**Fluvius Camillus** · 02-01-2010, 23:15

Wow nice to hear of a disciple

But really,which factions were they?

I dont know anything about bringing back deleted/corrupted files. I hope these other nice fellows can help you out!

I had the same once when my XP computer had a hardware problem and everything got deleted (Makedonia). Since then I keep copies of saves on external drives. I know it is too late now but in the future make some backups!

I now also own a win7 laptop besided the usual XP computer. WIndows 7 (32bit) runs EB fine. It runs even faster, no problems, works great!

I never had Vista, I avoided it like a disease. When I think about Vista, I always think of this video:

Hopefully you find some peace with AS (which I have just started too!)

Yes, the video is very much humorous, but don't be silly. Vista has its holes, and it may not be a stunning success, but the only thing older than complaining about how much Vista supposedly sucks is bitching (IIRC, in this context, the word is not vulgar) about how crappy and bloated each new OS is. They panned MS-DOS as a rubbish as well as bloatware, and they hated XP, calling it a broken hypochondriac (except one that really did get actual infections). Some things just never change. Keep being that way, Vasya, and soon you will be like a bloke who claims 'even nostalgia is not what it used to be' or like that geezer who still claims MIDAS is still the best OS...

Well, it was pretty much all of them. I had given up on Rome and Baktria coz it had already been done. I had no Epirus or Carthage game or averni game. And my saba game had just run into a persistant CTD that I just couldn't get around. Other than that every other empire had at least 1 third of the world.

I don't rush quite as fast as you do though. So they were not nearly as fast as yours. I was at about the same time as when you finish a campaign.

Sounds like I will have to speed up and get the AS one done before you do though.

As for getting the files back; I have given up. I would rather let them go and just start afresh. Some of my empires were unstable anyway; I find sweboz suck once you get too far out of their homelands.

@Blxz

But which one was the biggest?

Well don't make the mistake that I do the campaigns that fast to be "Teh Best Blitzer". I just like to play this way, I do roleplay, especially with AS and Baktria. I could have done it even faster, I can prove that. However I won't because it wouldn't be fun (even) for me, I play the way I like it, the reason I paused Pontos and Arverni is because everything is so perfect in the campaign, I dont want to ruin it by blitzing to the end. I won't play AS any faster if you try to beat me. I can only wish you the best of luck! Keep me posted on your progress if you like then I'll do the same.

There was a guy in the EB II Forum a month or so back who complained the game was too easy after having conquered the world in 25 years on VH/VH if I recall correctly, you can go and look. That must be ultimate Blitzing...

**Macilrille** · 02-04-2010, 13:30

Back to an interesting tidbit about XP-Vista-7. The guy programming the infinitely complex World in Flames- Computer is still using XP...

My largest was probably either the Sauro's with everything east of Rome or possibly the Saka with almost the entire top half of the map. Each had roughly 130 cities. Something about the nomads is easy for me. Maybe its the cheating horse archer stacks I use.

As for blitzing, I in no way have your talent. I only generally have 2 or 3 field armies and just seige almost all towns to starvation. I like to go at my own pace. Although lately I have been away from the net at my other house. Been doing a very successful Koinion Hellenon (sp?) game on my other computer...the XP one =).
Really, in the end I was just impressed by your completed maps that it made me decide to try and amass a collection of every single faction. I think I'll leave the AS to you for now while I try and complete KH.

Definately keep me updated, either in this thread or preferably via PM.
